Come see the newest stars of the operatic stage! The IFAC Handa Australian Singing Competition has long been considered the premier showcase for Australasia’s finest young singers and is the home of ‘The Mathy’, the most prestigious award given to a young opera and classical singer.

For a fraction of the cost of a ticket to the opera you can enjoy an evening of the finest classical singing accompanied by the Opera Australia Orchestra. The IFAC Handa Australian Singing Competition Finals Concert gives you a unique chance to hear the new generation of opera stars perform some of the most loved and memorable work in the classical singing canon.

Join us to hear the young operatic stars perform in the 2024 IFAC Handa Australian Singing Competition Finals Concert.

Flutist Eliza Shephard will be performing Cecile Chaminade’s Concertino with the Opera Australia Orchestra while the judges deliberate the outcome of the competition.
